Formscan - Persuasion is 1lb lower than when beating Gweedore (second) in last year's renewal and is not easily ruled out. Not at his best on a trip over to Riyadh in February, Royal Zabeel may well bounce back only 3lb higher than when scoring at Newmarket last summer, but MIDNIGHT GUN makes most appeal. The son of Kingman failed to get his head in front in four starts last term, but a narrow defeat at Doncaster by the recent Lincoln runner-up Rogue Diplomat looks stronger in hindsight, and he gets the vote.
